Food brands that contain genetically modified ingredients

Do you want to know if the food you are eating contains genetically modified
ingredients? I was made aware of a great new
website this week that lists products by brand name that contain GMO
ingredients, and alternatives that don't. The big food companies do not want
us to know that their food is GMO, because they know that many people won't
buy their food if the truth gets out, and because legally they are not
obligated to tell us on the label, they simply keep it a secret.

As consumers we have a huge amount of power to determine what food is in
the market place by what we buy. So, let's stop this giant experiment on our
health. The food companies have NOT obtained informed consent from
the populace on this issue, and we are being experimented on without our
knowledge because until now, we had no way of knowing which foods were GMO
and which were not. The only way to be sure of avoiding genetically modified
food was to buy organic. And there is enough research out there to be at
least a little bit concerned for what may happen to our health by consuming
GMO food, and to be very concerned about the impacts on the planet. Who
knows if 50 years from now we will look back on the GMO experiment the same
way we are now looking back at the spraying of Agent Orange / Agent Purple,
and the effects on the Vietnam Vets, Canadians at CFB Gagetown and
elsewhere, and others world wide, who did not know they were being exposed
to cancer-causing chemicals at the time.

for the GMO food list - note that even some baby foods use genetically
modified ingredients! And yes, so do Oreo cookies. Only processed foods are
listed here - for fruits and vegetables you can tell by the produce number.
If the number is 5 digits long and begins with the number 8, the product is
GMO.
